Steve: As I thought, you have nothing in writing/documents/photos to prove these facts, only speculation and hand-me-down info and can you furnish proof that your fans are original?

Yes, I have a certificate of authenticity for all my fans from all the sellers I bought them from, or nearly all. I do believe you did not furnish me with a certificate with the fans I bought from you. Good Enough for me. Last edited on Sun Apr 3rd, 2011 06:50 am by Steve Stephens |

Steve: I bet its like those coins, and stamps you get off the TV ads and they always have the same certificate -- Hey, would you be interested in buying some beach front property in Kansas and I will give you a certificate to prove it!!! Last edited on Sun Apr 3rd, 2011 06:53 am by Ron Jeter |

I think my fan certificates are issued by the same company as for coins and beachfront Kansas property. They are legit, aren't they? Gee, I hope so as I have a lot invested in my fans. I'd hate to find out what I think is patina is really polish residue.

My 1900 trunnion is type UI form E9 with a no. 45111. Puts it squarely in the early part of 1900. Last patent date on tag is May 27, '90. My stickmount is type UI form F with a no. 132920, putting it late in the 1902 production run. Last patent date on tag is June 25, 1901. Both fans have the earmarks that make up a 1900 fan. No explaining it, but if I had to..........Aliens did it..... Hey Ron, I need thirty eight of those certificates and a letter of authenticity that my smooth base '99 belonged to Abe Lincoln.......

All this back and forth...lets stop the nonsense. Hand over the pancakes. Problem solved. I'll hold on to it until we all learn to get along.

Frank, I got an outstanding 1899 Pancake from the Fanman in Dallas, Tx. Not totally 100% restored but close enough for me. Phone is (214) 826-7700. Give him a call and see what he has. And tell him that Fred from Seattle referred you. Need all the brownie points I can get toward my next purchase from him.

After reading this thread, Frank has decided to look for anything but a GE pancake, preferrably with a good stator.

Honestly, another pancake that I think looks cool is the 1907-1908 type with the strange looking motor that some here cal the "ugly motor". There is something totally neat the way these motors are made. Pancakes are great fans and fun to watch run! Edit: Forgot how to spell "pancake"...Problem solved, Vic Tinney Gyms, Inc...

I wouldn't wish an Emerson on Frank. We want him to be proud about the fans he collects, not hiding them in shame..... I would agree with you about the cakes. I like them all, but the base switched models are my favorites. Here's that 'ol ugly smooth cast model from 1907 that was the Aiken raffle fan two years ago...... Attached Image (viewed 869 times):

I owned and restored a 6250-D a while back and it was a great fan until I plugged it in one day and it shorted out on me for some reason. I repainted it Metalic Blue and it looked great. I couldn't figure out how to remove the motor in it so I couldn't find out what went wrong so I got rid of it.

Adam, I am so proud of you!!! If we can just get your restoration time on a GE fan under 5 years or 600 posts, I think you have the makings of a Fanman...........
